Diagonal pliers Bahco 4131 Side cutter Jaw width 1.16 cm

The Bahco 4131 diagonal pliers are compact cutting tools engineered for precision tasks. With a jaw width of 1.16 cm and a short overall length of 120 mm, these side cutters offer controlled shearing action for small-diameter wires and soft materials. At approximately 60 g, the tool is light and maneuverable, suited to confined spaces and repetitive use where fine control is required.

Advantages

These diagonal pliers combine a narrow jaw profile and close-cut geometry to deliver clean cuts with minimal deformation of the workpiece. The compact length and low weight reduce operator fatigue and improve access in tight assemblies. Hardened cutting edges maintain sharpness for consistent performance, while the side-cutter design provides good leverage for cutting through soft to medium-gauge wire and cable.

Suitable for

• Cutting small-diameter electrical wires and component leads
• Trimming plastic ties, cable ties and small soft-material fasteners
• Electronics assembly and repair where precise cuts are needed
• General light workshop and DIY tasks requiring fine cutting control

Key specifications

• Jaw width: 1.16 cm
• Cutting head length: 1.1 cm
• Total length: 120 mm
• Weight: 60 g (approx.)
• Tool type: diagonal side cutter

How to use

Position the material to be cut between the cutting edges near the tip of the jaws for the cleanest result. Grip the handles firmly and apply steady pressure until the blades close through the material. For repeatable, accurate cuts in electronics or cable work, make small, controlled strokes and avoid excessive twisting or bending of the tool while cutting. After use, wipe the cutting edges clean and store the pliers in a dry tool pouch to preserve edge life.

Usage recommendations

Use these diagonal pliers for soft to medium-gauge wires and non-hardened materials; avoid using them on hardened steel or large-diameter cables to prevent edge damage. Regularly inspect and, if necessary, lightly oil the pivot joint to maintain smooth action.
